At least he lost to the eventual champion. He put up a really good fight too. The encouraging thing is that if he'd been playing as well as he use to, he might have beaten Berdych.
Shame about the draw.

I totally agree.Now that the result is the same,why not suffer less pain? When I supposed he could win a MM title,he lost to a very average player that I can't believe. I don't blame him,thank god he is healthy this year, but if he wants to be top 15 even top 10 he can't have doubts in his mind esp playing against big servers.
Robredo has no chance against Ivan, he lost to him even on clay,let alone on Indoor.So Juanqui is still ahead of him by 2 points.

He needs to do like Roddick does and only play in tournaments where the next highest seed is in the mid-20s, and it's on a surface where that player is at their worst.
